Texas Rangers vs Chicago White Sox Prediction

It might be worth trying Chicago here. The Sox should start out fairly well with Crochet on the mound. In his last three outings Crochet has given up four earned in 13.0 innings without a decision. As for Gray, he’s got six earned in 10.0 innings over his last trio.

On Monday the Sox had a couple of rough bullpen performances which helped spur the loss. Overall the offense wasn’t horrible but it would be nice to see some more opportunistic hitting Tuesday.
